Newly-crowned Australian champion Mike Brown won his first AMA EnduroCross event in two years by leading every lap inside the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Rockstar FMF Husqvarna Factory Racing pilot and AMA professional racer since 1988, showed he’s still the man when it comes to pulling great starts, sprinting to a lead and putting down consistent laps to take a win.

Rockstar Lucas Oil Husqvarna’s Colton Haaker overcame some mayhem to apply pressure on the last lap but settled for second while Factory Beta’s Max Gerston rode a smart race to finish third.

“The track was good for me tonight,” Brown said. “It was fast but the rocks were tough and a lot of guys were going down there. I rode the track as hard as I could and didn’t make mistakes in the difficult sections.

“When I saw the other guys behind me go down after the start I told myself I better go now. The start was the whole race. If I would have started third or fourth I probably couldn’t have gotten here, these guys are going so fast. I got a little tight at the end and these guys caught up to me but I can’t wait to work on a little bit of stuff for the next race.”

The next round of the GEICO AMA EnduroCross series will take place at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas on Friday, 1 May.
